Excellent article in the Grauniad today in response to White Paper on the so-called 'housing crisis' which really should be required reading for all councillors on 'planning'.
There really is no need to ruin what is really a rather nice place to live with yet more breeding boxes for London overspill be it at Whitfield, Connaught Barracks, Sholden, Aylesham or anywhere else in the district.

I don't expect any change though as long as my stupid fellow Conservatives think all of us working our arses off to own something to keep the weather out is some sort of metric for how 'well off' we are or Labour keep bleating about 'surely the fifth richest country in the world should provide housing for all' and other silly transitional demands.
